Bill Summary

Child Care and Development Fund. Provides that a household is eligible for assistance under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program if the household includes a foster parent at the time of the office of the secretary of family and social services' initial determination regarding the household's CCDF eligibility. Requires the office of the secretary of family and social services to allocate 200 CCDF vouchers to be used for a child who is placed with a licensed foster parent.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Indiana's Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program to provide additional support for foster parents and children in foster care. Specifically, the bill establishes that a household including a foster parent at the time of initial eligibility determination will be eligible for CCDF assistance. Additionally, the bill requires the office of the secretary of family and social services to allocate 200 CCDF vouchers specifically for children placed with licensed foster parents. If these vouchers remain unused after 90 days, the office may reallocate them to other applicants. The bill defines key terms such as "foster parent" and "children in foster care" by referencing existing Indiana Code sections, and it is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to provide financial support for child care expenses for foster families, potentially making foster parenting more accessible and supporting the care of children in the foster care system.
